about us
Sweet Pockets is Atlanta’s first cupcake shop where all things revolve around the little bundles of sweet goodness! Cupcakes are baked fresh every morning from scratch by the cupcake girl, Lennie [short for LeNora] King and her crew. She is a former Architect who traded in her drafting equipment for some baking equipment. After months of testing and experimenting and many cupcake parties later, Sweet Pockets launched its product at the Beehive Co-op the weekend after Thanksgiving 2006 and amazingly enough people still had room in their stomachs for cupcakes!
2007 brought on new adventures for Sweet Pockets as the company set up shop in the Kings Circle Market located in the Peachtree Hills neighborhood. With great sadness, the owners of Kings Circle Market closed their doors at the end of June and the cupcake girl relocated to their other store, Irwin Street Market in the Old Fourth Ward/ Inman Park area. Along with setting up her new kitchen, she opened up Sweet Pockets’ first shop.
2008 started off with a 24 hour, 5000 mini cupcake bake-off for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s 10th Anniversary event. But, the best adventure was the opening of our storefront in the heart of Vinings in August, which was followed by another 5000 cupcake bake-off! Thanks for the neighborly welcome, Home Depot Headquarters! So, stop by and try some cupcakes! According to the cupcake girl, the best part of eating a cupcake is peeling back the paper liner and figuring out where and how to take that first bite! Yumm…
